Troy Dyer
- Lelaina Pierce: I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.
- Troy Dyer: Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23 is yourself.
- Lelaina Pierce: I don't know who that is anymore.
- Troy Dyer: I do. And we all love her. I love her. She breaks my heart again and again, but I love her.
- Troy Dyer: There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle... and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.
- Troy Dyer: [On answering machine] At the beep, please leave your name, number, and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma, and we'll get back to you
- Michael Grates: Have I stepped over some line in the sands of coolness with you? Because excuse me if somebody doesn't know the secret handshake with you.
- Troy Dyer: There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake.
- Troy Dyer: You can't navigate me. I may do mean things, and I may hurt you, and I may run away without your permission, and you may hate me forever, and I know that scares the living shit outta you 'cause you know I'm the only real thing you got.
- Lelaina Pierce: I'd like to somehow make a difference in people's lives.
- Troy Dyer: And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.
- Lelaina Pierce: And you wonder why we never got involved?
- Troy Dyer: Did he dazzle you with his extensive knowledge of mineral water, or was it his in-depth analysis of, uh, uh, Marky Mark that finally reeled you in?
